# Races Menu

The **Races Menu** in **RUFUS Race Manager (RRM)** is where you view and manage all races defined for an event. From here, you can open race dashboards, edit race settings, and create new races.

_Races Menu List_

## Viewing Defined Races

* All races already created for the event are listed in this menu.
* Each race is shown by **name**, making it easy to identify.
* Next to the race name, you can also see the number of checkpoints associated with that race.

#### Opening a Race

Clicking on a race name opens the **Race Dashboard**, where you can find detailed information and tools to manage that race.

#### Editing a Race

Hover over a race name and click the **pen icon** to open the **Edit Race modal**, where you can adjust race details such as name, distance, and other configurations.

## Creating a New Race

At the bottom of the Races Menu, you’ll find the **Add races** section.

* **Classical (V2)** → Create a traditional mass-start race. This is the standard format for most running, cycling, and triathlon events.
* **Laps/Time-Trial** → Create lap based races. This is the standard format for most motor sports events.

## Creating a Race Course

Operators can design a race course directly on an interactive map with the **Course Designer**, either by drawing it manually or importing it from **GPX/KML**. Event checkpoints can be placed as shared physical locations and reused across multiple races, making setup cleaner and faster.
